Sorry that I contributed to this shock. I ranked MR #18...
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE THEME
From From Russia with Love
Performed by JOHN BARRY & ORCHESTRA.
Six top 10 spots for this instrumental title track: one 4th place, two 6th’s, one 8th, one 9th and one 10th.
Only one member ranked it outside of the top 20, giving it the 21st spot, which was also its lowest score.
Everyone else ranked it between 11th and 20th.
FRWL’s title track received a total of 108 points.
The FRWL theme came in at 17th in my list. Great bit of music but I have plenty of favorites that rank above it.
I love the opening notes of the FRWL title theme and enjoy the track as a whole, but it's hard for an instrumental track to compete against the greater impact of a well-produced song as the film's title track for me. Matt Monro's song would have rated much higher. It's one of my favorites in fact.
Same here. And I love the opening/closing brass, and the organ.
THUNDERBALL
From Thunderball
Performed by TOM JONES.
Tom Jones’s TB effort received two bronze medals, as well as one 4th place, one 8th place and three 9th places.
Only two members placed this one outside their top 20, one of those was a 23rd place, giving TB one bottom 5.
TB’s title song obtained a total of 108 points.
That’s the same amount as FRWL’s title track, but TB wins the toss-up thanks to its two bronze medals.
That Tom Jones's "Thunderball" is "only: at number 13 speaks to the quality of the Bond Theme songs. I had a-ha dropping out long before this (number 16), but I guess many people like it more than I do.
Of course, and discussion of TB has to include this....
My undisputed #3. I adore everything about this song and TJ belts it out like his life depends on it. And coupled with that stunning title sequence it's made even better.
Unfortunately my first song from the top 10 which is out of the game. I like the powerful instruments and the voice. GF and TB are the classic and outstanding Bond songs from the last century. I would rank only one song even higher.
It's almost as good because it's a little better ;)
This leads to at least three bronze medals and not only two?
I love Spy Hard too. I also enjoy listening to the instrumental.
In this particular ranking TB is actually my #4.
I forgot we are also including instrumentals, which means the James Bond Theme now occupies 3rd place.
Sorry, forgot that you didn't have the time to vote. Your vote would have helped to improve TB's final ranking.
SKYFALL
From Skyfall
Performed by ADELE.
SF landed on every spot in the top 10 at least once, with the exception of the three highest places.
It reached the 4th, the 5th, the 6th, the 8th, the 9th and the 10th spot all on one occasion. Three participants gave it the 7th place.
No bottom 5’s for SF. One member gave it the 22nd spot, which was its lowest ranking. This was also the only placement outside the top 20 for this Oscar-winning Bond hit.
In total SF’s title song received 119 points.
